"Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments." -Rose Kennedy

There is no better way to create a memorable moments, than to do it with a vacation!  Multi-generational Family Vacations, Anniversary, Retirement, 30th/40th/50th/60th Birth...

The only thing better than a vacation is a "FRIENDCATION"! 


Traveling with a group of friends takes a bit of planning in order to pull it off. 


First and foremost, you will need a "Pied Piper".  The Pied Piper is the friend in charge of rallying the troops, putting the bug in peoples ear, and getting the conversation started....Are you a "Pied Piper"?  If not you, than who can you appoint to be one?


Next, early planning is the key.  Everyone is busy, and it's hard enough to find a weekend to get together, let alone 4,5,6, 7 nights....Time off requests need to be submitted, babysitters scheduled, animal boarding reservations etc, time to get/renew a passport, etc


Once a time frame is narrowed down, a estimated budget should be considered.  Some may be willing to spend more, some may want to spend less.  Is there a happy medium? 


Often there are options when different budgets come into play. Those with a lower desired budget may be able to travel for a few days less, or stay in a standard room in order to lower the price.  Those willing to spend more may be able to travel extra nights or elevate their accommodations to have an experience more in line with their expectations.


Once you've done the three most important steps above, the rest is fairly easy! 


I will first communicate with the Pied Piper, AKA group leader, to help you find the perfect location and accommodations for the crew, and send pricing and options. 


Once a decision is made, "your job" is over! I will take over as the point person and help everyone to get booked with a deposit! 


Trust me when I say that helping my clients plan "Friendcations" is my favorite thing to do, and I look forward to helping you have an unforgettable trip with some of your favorite people!
